SUMMARY:Beseda: COJECO Jewish Intellectual Circle Presents:  PURIM UNMASKED with Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie
DESCRIPTION:Beseda: COJECO Jewish Intellectual Circle Presents: PURIM UNMASKED with Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie\nThursday\, February 27th\, 2025\n6:30-8:30pm EST\nNYC*\nDive into the intellectual atmosphere of paradoxes\, controversies\, and debates at the BESEDA: COJECO Jewish Intellectual Club. With wine and cheese reception. \nExplore the hidden history and current political purpose of the most misunderstood Jewish holiday with the acclaimed Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie. \nPurim and its featured Scroll of Esther are often understood as a fantasy of Jewish power composed when Jews had none. But today\, it is a different story\, and it requires wrestling with the text and traditions to walk our talk of justice\, patriotism\, and moral responsibility to make new meanings of this holiday for our fast changing times. Yes\, even those triangle pastries are not what you thought. \nBESEDA: COJECO Jewish Intellectual Circle is part of COJECO Adult Jewish Education Series generously supported by the UJA-Federation of NY. \n*NYC address provided upon RSVP \nRegister Here>

SUMMARY:Courageous Conversations: Visionary x Partners Community Salon

Not a partner yet? It’s easy to join. Learn more about our flexible options here.) \nEach month\, Lab/Shul’s Visionary Salon gathers a circle of Visionary Partners around one timely\, soul-stirring question. For Hanukkah – and as a continuation of the brave conversations we began on Kol Nidre – we’re opening this month’s Salon to all Partners. This gathering offers a space to spark hope and a first glimpse of our returning Courageous Conversations 2026 cohort – a community experience rooted in empathy\, dialogue\, and deep listening that has supported and sustained us in recent years. \nFacilitated in person by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie and online by Melissa Shaw\, this Salon welcomes anyone ready to listen deeply\, speak thoughtfully\, and sit with complexity in community. \nOur Courageous Conversations framework draws on years of Lab/Shul practice: professionally guided dialogue\, a blend of large talking circle and small group formats\, this series nurtures understanding\, empathy\, and essential communication skills while embracing the diverse perspectives\, beliefs\, and experiences that shape our collective fabric. Each session offers a supportive space for thoughtful discussion\, equipping participants with tools to navigate conversations across disagreement with openness and respect. \n*Zoom information shared upon registration. \nThe virtual program is offered to partners only with a suggested donation of $18. Give what feels right—more if you can support others\, less if needed. Your presence is what matters most. \nQuestions? Reach out to sylvie@labshul.org. \nREGISTRATION>>
